I had the pleasure of speaking with Skyharbour (TSX-V: SYH) Resources CEO Jordan Trimble. Skyharbour continues to deliver with the drill bit and continues executing the prospect generator model. Great contrarian play in the uranium space.

K92 Mining (TSX-V: KNT) delivered what could be a game changer of a hole for the company. President Bryan Slusarchuk gave me the details of a 500-meter step-out hole that returned some very high grades. Stay tuned for more from K92.

Another company delivering with the drill bit is Almadex Minerals (TSX-V: AMZ) whose El Cobre project is quickly shaping up to be district-scale project with multiple copper-gold porphyries. CEO Morgan Poliquin went over why he’s excited about current and upcoming drilling at the El Cobre project.

Last but not least, Leading Edge Materials (TSX-V: LEM) CEO Blair Way shared exciting news from its most recent battery grade results. This time around the company used graphite from its flagship Woxna facility to produce the same type of cells used in a Tesla. Early days but Leading Edge is very well positioned to benefit from this emerging megatrend.
